1991 - Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Alzheimer's disease and Locus. His Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as PICALM, Case-control study, Genetic association and Macular degeneration. Lindsay A. Farrer has included themes like Apolipoprotein E, Substance dependence and Candidate gene in his Single-nucleotide polymorphism study.

He works mostly in the field of Apolipoprotein E, limiting it down to topics relating to Odds ratio and, in certain cases, Logistic regression. His study looks at the relationship between Alzheimer's disease and fields such as SORL1, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Lindsay A. Farrer has researched Locus in several fields, including Genetic marker, Genetic linkage and Gene mapping.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of Age, Sex, and Ethnicity on the Association Between Apolipoprotein E Genotype and Alzheimer Disease: A Meta-analysis (2851 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease (2614 citations)
  • Effects of age, sex, and ethnicity on the association between apolipoprotein E genotype and Alzheimer disease. A meta-analysis. APOE and Alzheimer Disease Meta Analysis Consortium. (2174 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Disease, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Alzheimer's disease. His study in Gene, Locus, Allele, Genetic linkage and Genetic association are all subfields of Genetics. Lindsay A. Farrer combines subjects such as Alcohol dependence, Oncology and Bioinformatics with his study of Genome-wide association study.

His research investigates the connection between Disease and topics such as Gerontology that intersect with issues in Epidemiology. The concepts of his Single-nucleotide polymorphism study are interwoven with issues in Sickle cell anemia, Haplotype and Candidate gene. His research in Alzheimer's disease intersects with topics in Apolipoprotein E, SORL1 and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (49.71%)
  • Genome-wide association study (27.05%)
  • Disease (26.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Genome-wide association study (27.05%)
  • Genetics (49.71%)
  • Disease (26.17%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Lindsay A. Farrer mainly investigates Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Disease, Gene and Alzheimer's disease. His research integrates issues of SNP, Alcohol dependence, Bioinformatics, Genetic association and Locus in his study of Genome-wide association study. His Genetics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Apolipoprotein E.

His work carried out in the field of Apolipoprotein E brings together such families of science as Oncology and Genotype. The Disease study combines topics in areas such as Genome and Whole genome sequencing. His studies in Alzheimer's disease integrate themes in fields like Computational biology and Gerontology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain (726 citations)
  • A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants (638 citations)
  • Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease (429 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

Lindsay A. Farrer mainly focuses on Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Disease. His Genome-wide association study research includes themes of Alzheimer's disease, Genetic association and Heritability. Lindsay A. Farrer interconnects TREM2 and Apolipoprotein E in the investigation of issues within Genetics.

His Allele research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cannabis, Neuroscience, Immunology and Locus. His studies deal with areas such as Internal medicine and Genetic architecture as well as Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His study in Disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neurology, Age related and Macular degeneration.
